It’s the photo of a politician, which is against the rules that make this community pleasant for everyone else. You can find the guidelines of this community in the sidebar

This post goes against the community guidelines, please remove it

Edit: you can disagree, but it still goes against rule 2 of this community and I’m so sick of having political photos everywhere. There are tons of political communities already, go post there please

They are “on their side” when it’s in their interest to do so. Which, bluntly, is true for almost all people. Absolute altruism–doing a ‘good’ thing for which you receive absolutely no reward (including public recognition or a sense of smug superiority) at all–is so rare as to be extinct. That’s how politics is always played, my dude

…that’s literally what I have been saying. Matter of fact, your whole reply was just a different way of saying the same thing. You just repeated my points and tried to be cool by adding the “my dude” at the end.

I’m done with this pointless conversation. Goodbye

Indeed they can and do support things…things that will allow them to make more money. They are called investments.

The “fight” with DeSantis was all theatre and their “win” simply allows them to continue to rule on their land as if nothing changed.

And I think you are mixing correlation with causation: just because they happen to support and give money to Democrats, it doesn’t mean they stand by them. In the same link you shared, it shows they gave money to the Republicans and Nikki Haley…which is not something someone would do if they truly supported the things you said they do.

And that’s the whole point. They are not someone. They are a company, controlled by individuals who are simply looking to maximize profits. You think they are left- or center-aligned but that is simply because that reflects the majority of their customer base. If tomorrow the right suddenly comprised the majority of their customers, they would change side immediately.

I cannot believe people in 2024 still think giant multinational companies can “be on their side”

They are a company, they don’t support anything. They only look out for the most profitable paths to make money. Just last week Disney started giving donations to the Republican party again

What about all the other comments in this post that keep pointing out that the author of the comic is a Nazi? You really seem not to care about that detail

Yes. Others have already explained why in the comments, so I’ll just leave the website for all public instances of SearXNG as alternative instead

This mentality smells of “just say no” for drugs or “just don’t have sex” for abortions. This is not the ideal world and we have to find actual plans/solutions to deal with the situation. We can’t just cover our ears and hope people will stop
